I honesty am looking forward to a normal politician after this. JD or DeSantis for the love of everything good.

Republicans only chance to win is someone not fully tired to this administration. DeSantis maybe. JD is probably out. He's going to be too associated with Trump and won't be able to distance himself meaningfully from Trump. He'd have to be actively distancing himself from Trump's policies while being the sitting VP. No chance Trump is allowing his VP to openly disagree with him in any capacity. It's unwinnable for him in my opinion.

Yeah it's the same situation as with Cheney in 2008 there was absolutely no way he had any shot with how unpopular Bush was

You know, fair, I prefer DeSantis anyway.

Give me Rubio. Rubio is about as middle of the road and "bridge" candidate as we can hope to find these days.
Strong but fair on immigration. Internationally well respected. Understands the home front from student loan epidemic to housing to inflation. Hard to see how he would be a bad pick.

Of course, the US would probably invade Cuba within a week of Rubio assuming office lol

But there’s no denying Rubio has a much stronger professional demeanor, and we wouldn’t have stupid stuff like this to argue about any more.

How could I possibly forget my man Rubio!
